Way Back Love (2025)

*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
Similarities:
- both male leads are dead probably years ago
- they died in high school
- male leads died because of female lead (SFOT's male lead died to save female lead, meanwhile WBL's male lead died because of the explosion due to the lucky draw thing)
- in a high school setting (mostly)
difference:
- SFOT is a time travel of female lead to save male lead, and WBL is a supernatural drama which female lead sees the dead/grim reaper (male lead)

Ps. also recommended to watch shining for one thing (movie) and its series

*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
- both male leads died because of the female lead but mainly explosion
- accident happen in seemingly happy and fun place but turns out there will be an explosion that will kill the male lead (SFOT explosion happened at a concert, meanwhile WBL explosion happened at an observatory (?))

Ps. you can see my other recommendation in WBL to have more detailed explanation

similar concepts of young adults dealing with youthhood, exploring themes like young romance, friendship, and mental health

Both shows feature Grim Reapers dealing with death and suicide. Way Back Love features one story while Tomorrow features several different stories. Also there is more focus on the supernatural elements in Tomorrow.

The plot twist of 49 days is that he is the old boyfriend of the fl … and he is also the grim reaper who follows her around for 49 days. Not set in high school but their past is. Recommend ! even though i haven’t seen way back love yet lol

Both of these shows have the FL as she is about to die being greeted by a grim reaper of sorts to help her during her final days, and they slowly fall in love. Both shows have beautiful colour palettes and heart wrenching emotional scenes, and are mainly character driven. I highly recommend both shows.

The story is similar with the grim reaper concept the only difference the fl is grim reaper instead of the ml the plot and themes are quite similar just instead of each other first love the ml is a singer and she is big fan of him he is going to die and she has limited time to save him the story is quite intriguing even the no of eps of both dramas are same it is a part of trilogy called three color fantasy which each of them containing 6 eps
